He would probably appreciate the idea of a second funeral. Some years ago I saw John Astin doing a one-man performance as Poe (something like Hal Holbrook's Mark Twain Tonight).

Yes, I imagine he would too.Although i'm not too sure about the open casket viewing of a wax replica of his body......
That John Astin one-man performance sounds like it would have been quite spectacular! There is so much talent out there in the world!
